Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 394 Sima Yi's final blow, the Three Kingdoms is invincible (2)
When Sima Yi heard what Sima Zhao had said, he couldn't help but patted his knees and shouted: "Okay! He is indeed a unparalleled national scholar! Zhaoer, you remember his name, and when the affairs of the court calm down, you can let the officials go." Investigate his daily behavior, ask Qingzhou Dazhong to write his adverbial statement, and immediately recruit him into the Taifu's residence as Cangcao Cao!"

"Okay, my son remembered it. My son came here to report to you because he admired this person's disciplined advances and retreats, and his ability to deal with matters." Sima Zhao nodded and said, "My lord, this time, Cao Shuang will be punished." In the process of the brothers and three clans, another incident happened: Xiahou Lingnv, the wife of Cao Shuang’s cousin Cao Man, was previously widowed and childless, and her father wanted to persuade her to remarry. Cut off both ears to swear, and then lived in Cao's mansion as a husband and widow. Now that Cao's mansion has collapsed, his family has written a letter stating that he will never marry, and will forcefully welcome Xiahou Ling's daughter back, and will marry her again. But Xiahou Ling's daughter pretended to agree , but sneaked into the dormitory, cut off his nose with a knife to make his appearance ugly, and his blood flowed all over his face, which was horrible. His father's family was shocked and mourned, and he said: "Life in the world is like light dust inhabiting weak grass ears! Why do you suffer from it?" Naier? Besides, your husband’s family has been wiped out, who will do what you want to do?’ The girl replied: “I heard that the benevolent will not change their festivals with prosperity and decline, and the righteous will not change their hearts with survival. When the Cao family was prosperous before, it was still If you want to be a husband, a widow and a widow, how can you bear to abandon it now that it is declining? How can I do this beastly behavior?!'”

Sima Yi listened quietly, but the circles of his eyes slowly turned red: "Good! Good! Good! This privet festival is so touching, it should be engraved on a monument!"

"But...you don't know, my lord, that when the daughter of Xiahou returned to her mother's house after the fall of Cao's house, she secretly brought a child from Cao's house... According to Zhong Huijun's unannounced visit, the child she took away may be Cao Shuang The evil son of one of the brothers. After she secretly kept her husband's family in the name of keeping the festival, her intentions are really deep! Father, do you think it is necessary..." Sima Zhao stretched out his palm and made a volley. chopping action.

"No need." Sima Yi wiped his eye sockets with a towel, and said calmly, "Zhao'er! She is of extraordinary character and deserves extraordinary treatment. This Xiahouling privet is extraordinary, and I respect her deeply! Even if she really adopted Brother Cao Shuang's youngest son, let her do it! By amputating the ears and cutting the nose to make a clear promise, in exchange for the survival of my husband's family line, it is really shocking! My Sima family Self-proclaimed as the future master of the world, with a mind of the whole world and the world, how can he not tolerate such a chaste and martyr?"

"Father, you have taught me the right thing." Sima Zhao blushed, and hastily admitted his mistake, "The child's heart was so hot and violent at the moment, and his murderous intentions were too strong, so that he disobeyed morals and ungrateful righteousness. It is really a mistake."

Only then did Sima Yi calm down, and said in a slow voice, "Zhaoer, morality, righteousness, and righteousness are a treasured talisman. A man cannot lose his virtue, and heaven cannot kill him. God does not bless him, man does not help him, and his ancestors do not bless him! You must keep it in mind!"

Sima Zhao lowered his hands and nodded, not daring to say more.

"Anything else?" Sima Yi asked again.

"There is news from Guanzhong that Xia Houba, the guard of Shu and the governor of Liangzhou, has abandoned his ancestors and treason three days ago and fled to the puppet Shu." Sima Zhao continued to report.

"Oh? Unexpectedly, Xia Houba claimed to be brave and crowned Guanlong, but he was so greedy for life and fear of death when things came to an end?" Sima Yi smiled lightly, "Forget it, let's not talk about him. Then, what about Xia Houxuan, General Zhengxi?"

"Xia Houxuan has already resigned from the position of General Zhengxi, and asked to enter Beijing to serve as a close servant." Sima Zhao reported generously, "My lord, Xia Houxuan has invited me to Beijing, does it mean that he still wants to defend Wei with all his heart?" Shi, loyal to the Wei Dynasty?"

"Okay! Let's accept his invitation—let him enter Beijing to take up the position of Dahonglu!" Sima Yi said leisurely, stroking his white beard and beard, "Xiahouxuan can do things like his uncle Xiahouba. Such betrayal of the emperor and the ancestors and fleeing to the enemy's country, after all, is still full of vigor and admiration! Back then, Cao Mengde's mind could hold Liu Bei and Guan Yu, how could the members of Sima's family be inferior to him?"

When Luoyang City came back to life, winter had already passed.

After Cao Shuang's faction was wiped out, Great Wei was already another world.Although the year name of the Wei family is still hanging (but in order to celebrate the destruction of Cao Shuang's party, Cao Fang has changed the "Zhengshi" year name to "Jiaping" year name), many people know that the Sima family in Hanoi has already grown its wings. Almost covered the entire sky!

As soon as February arrived, all civil and military officials "unanimously" jointly petitioned for Taifu Sima Yi to be named prime minister and gift Jiuxi in recognition of his meritorious service to the country.Today's Majesty fully approved this memorial at the first time, and ordered Taichang Wang Su to hold the imperial edict to appoint Sima Yi as the first prime minister of the Great Wei Dynasty, and added four counties of Fanchang, Yanling, Xinji, and Fucheng in Yingchuan County , Add 24 households, and the officials are not allowed to name them, just like the story of Huo Guang in the former Han Dynasty.Accompanied by this unprecedented canonization activity, there is a vigorous rise of rumors.Someone analyzed the [-]-character prophecy on the mysterious stone from the sky that was born when the late emperor was alive, "Heaven's destiny will change, and Cao Yan will be punished. The golden horse will be born, and the hooves will rise to the clouds. Good luck will bring prosperity. "Change" actually refers to the sudden rise of the Sima family's power, which is at the height of the sky; and the four words "against Cao Yan" fully confirm the great achievements of Sima Yi and his son in defeating the rebel Cao Shuang's faction!Naturally, what follows next is the fulfillment of the prophecies such as "the destiny will change, the prosperity will be prosperous, and the ritual will change" one by one...

However, Sima Yi's own letter of condescension brought all this noise to an abrupt end: "The old minister has taken care of his life, and he is deeply concerned about his responsibility. Relying on the power of God, he destroys the culprits and atones for his sins. His merits are not worth mentioning. Officials, made by the holy kings, are the ceremonies. As for the position of the prime minister, it started from the Qin Dynasty, and the Han family has not changed because of it. Now the three officials are all prepared, and they will restore the favored ministers. The scriptures, following the road of the Qin and Han Dynasties, although there are strangers, the ministers should be upright; moreover, if you are a minister and do not insist on fighting, what will the four parties call a minister?" At the same time, Sima Yi also desperately wanted to add nine ceremonies to himself. Resignation: "In the past, the Taizu Emperor Wu had great merits and virtues, and the Han family respected him, so he added the gift of Jiuxi. This is a strange thing in the past dynasties, and it is not something that the monarchs and ministers of later generations can discuss."

After repeated "see-sawing" of "ten seals and ten concessions", Sima Yi finally reluctantly accepted some awards: he was ordered to build a Sima's temple in Nanfang, Luoyang, to commemorate his ancestors publicly, and to be accepted by the world. The incense of the scholars and the people is enshrined; in Taifu's mansion, there is a special history of the left and right, and there are more than ten officials and housekeepers.

After his meritorious deeds were awarded, all the ministers and bureaucrats who followed him to defeat Cao Shuang's faction also received rewards from the court: Taiwei Jiang Ji was granted the title of Marquis of the capital, and seven hundred households in the city were added; Situ Gaorou was granted the title of Marquis of Long Live, and There are seven hundred households in the town; Wang Guanjin, the crown servant, is granted the title of Marquis of Bailiting and concurrently serves as Minister of Duzhi; Guo Zhi of Wei Wei is promoted to the general of chariots and riders, and the number of households in the town is increased by [-]; Sima Fu was granted the title of Yushi Zhongcheng, adding [-] households; Sima Shi was promoted to General Wei, in charge of the troops inside and outside the capital, and was granted the title of Marquis of Changping Township, with a thousand households in Shiyi; Sima Zhao was promoted to Lieutenant of Sili Sima Wang, the heir of Sima Fu, was promoted to be the leader of the Central Army, and the number of households in the city was increased by [-]; Hui will be promoted to be a regular servant of Sanqi and the chief Yilang of Da Nei, adding [-] households in the town; Yin Damu will be promoted to the order of Huangmen, adding [-] households to the town.As for Jia Chong, Wei Lie, Pei Xiu, Wang Yun, Wang Kai, etc., they also have their own rewards.

By this time, almost everyone understood that the summer of the first year of Jiaping was already destined to be the summer of Sima's faction.

"Sizong, I heard that Taifu Sima is asking you to comment on the "Book of Filial Piety"?" In a small teahouse in the corner of Luoyang City, Shan Tao asked Ruan Ji while sipping green tea, "He also sent a copy of the "Book of Filial Piety"?" Shu Zhengzhao Shan also came to work with you!"

"Master Taifu really attaches great importance to the way of loyalty, filial piety and righteousness—Juyuan, do you know? He sent Mr. Wang Xiang from Wen County The post of county magistrate has been promoted to be a senior farmer, this kind of method of "selecting talents and virtues" is quite a legacy of the great Han!" Ruan Ji did not drink tea, but grabbed the gourd he carried with him and drank the wine, "Don't Seeing that Master Taifu is such a rigorous and upright person, in order to annotate this "Book of Filial Piety" well, he did not hesitate to condescend and condescend, and specially asked Zi Shangjun to send ten jars of Xiyi wine to reward Ruan ..."

"So, what about you, Shu Ye? Are you willing to join us in the Grand Tutor's Mansion to do this important event of annotating the scriptures?" Shan Tao turned his gaze to Ji Kang again.

"Me? I suddenly have no interest in these things." Ji Kang held the teacup in his hand and turned it around.His whole person looked deserted, as if he was a little extra thin.

"Shu Ye——Sima Taifu's father and son have always distinguished between public and private, and are impartial. Although you are the prince's consort of the Wei family, and He Yan's nephew and son-in-law, they will definitely favor and reuse you regardless of suspicion." Shan Tao tried to persuade Ji Kang again.

"Well... I have already thought about it. I have a piece of Susukida in the countryside. I will build a hut next to it. I will go there to retire in a few days." Ji Kang put down his teacup, propped his chin with his hand, and looked at him leisurely. The distant mountains and green fields outside the window of the teahouse.

"Hey..." Ruan Ji spit out a sip of wine, splashing the head and face of the opposite Shan Tao, "Shu Ye—why do you think like this? You actually went to live in seclusion so early?"

Ji Kang nodded seriously, showing a childish smile: "Yes, I really want to retire."

Shan Tao didn't care about disputes with Ruan Ji, and while wiping the drink from his face, he urged hastily, "Shu Ye! How old are you, and you are in the early spring of your blood, so why are you thinking of retiring? "

"Isn't that good?" Ji Kang stared at the empty wine glass in front of him, and said with emotion, "Look at my uncle, before he took power, he behaved, acted, and composed, how unrestrained, elegant, peaceful and ethereal he was. , but as soon as he became the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he changed his appearance and almost forgot his origin. I can't follow in his footsteps!"

"Shu Ye! How can you compare with He Yan?" Ruan Ji looked serious, "You are not like him! There is still a lot to do."

"Sizong and Juyuan, as your close friends, I am also very happy that you can enter the shogunate of Sima Taifu. After all, Sima Taifu and his son have great ambitions and swallow the world, and their shogunate is exactly where heroes with lofty ideals make contributions. The best destination." Ji Kang also replied sincerely, "As for me, Ji Kang, whether it is my family background or my own temperament and style, perhaps it is no longer suitable for me to wander around in the officialdom of the Great Wei at this time. Just let me live, don't try to persuade me again! Let me be a happy, unrestrained little citizen, okay?"

As soon as Ji Kang said these words, Shan Tao and Ruan Ji were stunned, they looked at each other, but they were speechless.
